The ability to move between quick, timely projects and longer deep dives, juggling the needs of the news cycle with long-running series and short documentaries

An idea generator with the ability to conceive and structure series, one-off video stories, and video content for platforms including Facebook and YouTube

Strong writing skills with the ability to write a compelling script and condense a complicated story down to a few crystal clear sentences

An interest in broad types of stories — we make videos about science, cars, celebrities, politics and more

Independently edit (Premiere Pro) high-quality video, while also being able to shoot and work alongside crews or in pairs as needed

Experience field producing is a plus
